Abstract
Ignitor mounting brackets for pellet grills are disclosed. An example mounting bracket includes a base and an ignitor tab. The base includes a first surface, a second surface, and a primary opening. The second surface is located opposite the first surface. The primary opening is formed in and extends through the base from the first surface to the second surface. The primary opening is configured to receive an auger tube of a pellet grill. The ignitor tab is coupled to the base. The ignitor tab includes an ignitor tab opening formed in and extending through the ignitor tab. The ignitor tab opening is configured to receive an ignitor of a pellet grill.
Claims20
A mounting bracket, comprising:
- a flat, ring-shaped base including:
- a first planar surface;
- a second planar surface located opposite the first planar surface;
- and
- a primary opening formed in and extending through the base from the first planar surface to the second planar surface, the primary opening configured to receive an auger tube of a pellet grill;
- and
- an ignitor tab integrally formed with and extending radially outward from the base, the ignitor tab including an ignitor tab opening formed in and extending through the ignitor tab, the ignitor tab opening configured to receive an ignitor of a pellet grill.
A pellet grill, comprising:
- a hopper;
- a burn pot;
- an auger assembly extending between the hopper and the burn pot, the auger assembly including an auger and an auger tube, the auger tube circumscribing the auger, the auger configured to transport pellet fuel received from the hopper through the auger tube and into the burn pot;
- and
- a mounting bracket assembly including a mounting bracket and an ignitor removably coupled to the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket including:
- a flat, ring-shaped base having a first planar surface, a second planar surface located opposite the first planar surface, and a primary opening formed in and extending through the base from the first planar surface to the second planar surface, the primary opening receiving the auger tube;
- and
- an ignitor tab integrally formed with and extending radially outward from the base, the ignitor tab including an ignitor tab opening formed in and extending through the ignitor tab, the ignitor tab opening receiving the ignitor.
